Start a few minutes or hours a day practicing mindfulness while you exercise or drink coffee. Just think about what you are doing and clear your mind. Focus on your breathing while you do these things.

Another thing that I have found helpful for being mindful is to turn off all of my devices and read for thirty minutes in the evening. It relaxes you and allows your mind to settle down from the distractions of the day.

Along with the decreases in stress, mindfulness can also lower the incidence of burnout and turnover at work.

Here is a mindful schedule you can try to follow:

1. Monday: Gratitude-Find things to be thankful for. Include them in your meditation or start a gratitude journal.

2. Tuesday: Acceptance-Accept yourself as you are and others as they are.

3. Wednesday: Forgiveness- Forgive yourself first. Extend forgiveness to others for any past transgressions.

4. Thursday: Purpose: Think about your ultimate purpose. Where in your life do you find meaning?

5. Friday: Celebration- Make sure to take a day to celebrate the joy and positive things in your life.

6. Saturday: Reflection- Reflect on your moth or year. Make sense of the moment or.simply focus on simple awareness.
